If f: ℝ → ℝ is given by f(x) = (x² + 4)/(x² + 1), what is its range?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (1, 4]

The governing concept is the range of a real-valued function. Put u = x², so u ≥ 0 for every real x. Then f(x) = (u + 4)/(u + 1) = 1 + 3/(u + 1). Since u + 1 ≥ 1, the added term is positive and at most 3. Its maximum 3 occurs when u = 0, that is, x = 0, giving f(0) = 4. As u grows without bound, 3/(u + 1) approaches 0 but never equals 0 for any finite real x. Hence f(x) approaches 1 without attaining it, and every value between 1 and 4 is obtained. Therefore the range is (1, 4], so option A is correct. Option B incorrectly includes 1, while C and D do not represent the actual set of values.
